That could have been shot in most of Europe.

I really find it refreshing when folks do not over estimate their ski ability.

Most likely not right place for this, but still... that's reason why there's so many dead people in avalanches... No equipment, most likely also no knowledge and abosulutely no issues or thinking when going out of groomers. Before someone jumps in that it's "inbounds" just quick clarification. We do NOT have inbounds in Europe. Stepping 1m off groomer is same as going 20km into backcountry. There's no avi mitigation, no avi check, no bombing to make off piste skiing safe. 1m off piste means you are on your own, and you should check avi report, and have full avi equipment. Without backpack (like guy on skis), or with little backpack for sandwich and tea, that guy in darker clothes on board has it means there's no shovel, no probe and I would dare to bet no transciever. So once you trigger avalanche, and that's not so uncommon or impossible, especially with snow conditions we had few weeks ago, you are basically dead.
